EXAMPLE:
Google Glass ("GLΛSS") is a wearable computer with a Head-Mounted Display (HMD) Google Glass displays information in a smartphone-like hands-free format, that can interact with the Internet via natural language voice commands
25
A plastic hump that sits behind your ear contains a speaker that transmits audio from videos and Google searches directly into your head.A tiny screen is projected on this block of plastic. Tap the black plastic touchpad that forms the temple and the display will turn on, displaying the current time and the words “Ok glass.”
26
When on, however, the tiny display is clearly visible to anyone looking at the wearer, making it less likely that someone will surreptitiously record someone else.
When the Glass display is off, the block of plastic is perfectly clear. Despite the hunk of tech hanging above your eye, you'll eventually find it fading into the background of your peripheral vision. Eventually.

HEADING: 9027 (Continued)
76
Visco Meter
HEADING: 9027 (Continued)Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. It describes the internal friction of a moving fluid. A fluid with large viscosity resists motion because its molecular makeup gives it a lot of internal friction. A fluid with low viscosity flows easily because its molecular makeup results in very little friction when it is in motion.

The principle is used for the study of rotating, reciprocating, oscillating or vibrating objects
80
Ionizing (or ionizing) radiation is radiation composed of particles that individually carry enough kinetic energy to liberate an electron from an atom or molecule, ionizing it. Ionizing radiation is generated through nuclear reactions, either artificial or natural, by very high temperature (e.g. plasma discharge or the corona of the Sun), via production of high energy particles in particle accelerators, or due to acceleration of charged particles by the electromagnetic fields produced by natural processes
